Linear Regression Model

Model equation:
Yi = α + β × Xi + εi

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi + 2 × s)

Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi – 2 × s)

where:

i - observation number
Yi - natural logarithm of PTGX price
Xi - time index, 1 day interval
σ - standard deviation of εi
a - estimator of α
b - estimator of β
s - estimator of σ
Exp() - calculates the exponent of e

End date: November 11, 2024

a = -1.0871

b = 0.0028

s = 0.0953

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0028) – 1
= 173.50%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0953) – 1
= 46.41%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y959)
= Exp(a + b × X959 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,394 + 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.0871 + 0.0028 × 1,394 + 2 × 0.0953)
= Exp(2.9462)
= $19.03

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y959)
= Exp(a + b × X959 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,394 – 2 × s)
= Exp(-1.0871 + 0.0028 × 1,394 – 2 × 0.0953)
= Exp(2.5649)
= $13.00
